Are these waterproof? Looking for something to block the rain and keep porch furniture dry.

I don't usually leave mine down, but I seriously doubt that they'd be waterproof. You might could scotch guard them so that they'd be more repellant though. They're nice blinds though; I've had mine for about a year now and they're still like new.

Somewhere in the description of this shade it mentions that though it blocks (I believe) 80-85% of the sunlight, it is still porous. If it were a pelting rain against the shade I am sure that the rain would not be totally blocked but would be atomized. (We normally try to roll the shades up when it is raining to help prevent the chances of moisture being trapped and creating mold.)

No, these are not waterproof. They may slow down a gentle rain but not a wind-driven rain.

No they will allow water to pass through but it has to be rather direct. most will run down the curtain.

Water resistant maybe? I have been caught in the rain with them and they still work but as far as "Proof" goes I cant say.

I do not think you could leave them out in the rain. I am very happy with them I use them for all my USPS shipping and will order them again soon.

I haven't left them out in rain, they are not waterproof that I can tell. However they dry pretty quick after sat on with wet bathing suits.

Yes they are water proof, but to a certain extent. You dont want them getting soaked all the time.

I left some papers on my porch that were written with a Triplus (pink). It did smear and fade. I would definitely NOT call them water-resistant!

Yes. So far, after the first winter, they are waterproof and have protected the patio furniture well. We did however remove the cushions over the winter and stored them in our garage attic.

These are not protected from rain etc., and so are not rated for outdoor use. However wrapping them in permanent watertight plastic, AND with necessary draining hole or provision IN THE BOTTOM should make them usable outdoors.

If sealed tight these would keep rain and moisture out. I would not submerge.

If they are outdoor, they should be waterproof, Right? But they don't see to be. All three that I ordered have quit working in the first week probably due to high humidity and some rain.

could be suitable, size is right but they are thin - if you need waterproof, consider cutting up a felt backed vinyl tablecloth

In my experience, they don't last long enough to be able to determine if they're truly waterproof or not. I think they're SUPPOSED to be waterproof, but mine stopped working within a few weeks of my putting them up. Apparently, there's SOMETHING outside that they're not "-proof" to. Good luck!

They aren't weather proof. They are labeled weather resistant. My two are outside but under cover out if the rain.

The cover has a vinyl backing which is probably water resistant but the outside feels more like heavy duty fabric and it repels water. I keep my patio furniture under our patio cover and I wouldn't expose it to the elements (e.g. rain) for too long:)

I leave mine outside and they dry fast after being in the rain. I have the red cushions and I have been disappointed with the colorfastness of them. They appeared to have faded after only a few months in the sun. Otherwise, the furniture has been great.

They are not waterproof but will handle light rain. In heavy rain I will have puddles that form inside the bags. Not a good place for dry clothes or a cell phone to be. If I know its going to be heavy rain I wrap anything important in ziploc bags or plastic grocery bags.

Yes! I have left them out all summer and we had a LOT of rain...they dried naturally and still look beautiful!!!
